enrollment.portal_url, enrollment.portal_name, and enrollment.phone are quote-gate verified against captured HHSC snapshots (tx-hhs-choosing-plan.txt, tx-yourtexasbenefits-home.txt). enrollment.choice_window_days could not be confirmed on any HHSC or plan page we could capture, so it ships as an honest not_found fact (the choice_window_note below does not state a specific day count). All 13 STAR service-area rosters (bexar, dallas, el-paso, harris, hidalgo, jefferson, lubbock, mrsa-central, mrsa-northeast, mrsa-west, nueces, tarrant, travis) are quote-gate verified against HHSC's own per-service-area 'Compare Extra Services' PDFs (seed/plans/snapshots/TX/tx-hhs-star-<area>.txt), which name every STAR plan operating in that area. plans.superior-star.member_phone is quote-gate verified against tx-hhs-star-travis.txt. Every other plan field (provider directory URLs, formulary URL, most member phone numbers, extra benefits, NCQA ratings) is researched from HHSC's per-area comparison charts and each plan's own site but is not yet bound by a field-level fact entry, so the state as a whole stays unverified. Aetna Better Health of Texas STAR operates in two service areas (Bexar and Tarrant) with two different published member-services numbers; this file cites the Bexar number (1-800-248-7767) and both are HHSC-sourced. Driscoll Health Plan similarly has two HHSC-listed numbers by area (Hidalgo vs Nueces); this file cites the Nueces number (1-877-220-6376). FirstCare STAR's own roster fact quote is preserved as HHSC published it (Revised 07/2024-10/2025 comparison charts); FirstCare has separately announced it intends to exit the Texas Medicaid managed-care program on 2026-08-31, which is not yet reflected in HHSC's own comparison charts as of this snapshot and needs a human recheck closer to that date.
